  • The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai
    The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai By Philip S. Shapiro1 Introduction This work had its genesis in an initiative of the “Alka” Samogitian Museum, which has undertaken projects to recover for Lithuanians the true history of the Jews who lived side-by-side with their ancestors. Several years ago, the Museum received a copy of the 500-plus-page “yizkor” (memorial) book for the Jewish community of Telšiai,2 which was printed in 1984.3 The yizkor book is a collection of facts and personal memories of those who had lived in Telšiai before or at the beginning of the Second World War. Most of the articles are written in Hebrew or Yiddish, but the Museum was determined to unlock the information that the book contained. Without any external prompting, the Museum embarked upon an ambitious project to create a Lithuanian version of The Telshe Book. As part of that project, the Museum organized this conference to discuss The Telshe Book and the Jewish community of Telšiai. This project is of great importance to Lithuania. Since Jews constituted about half of the population of most towns in provincial Lithuania in the 19th Century, a Lithuanian translation of the book will not only give Lithuanian readers a view of Jewish life in Telšiai but also a better knowledge of the town’s history, which is our common heritage. The first part of this article discusses my grandfather, Dov Ber Shapiro, who was born in 1883 in Kamajai, in the Rokiškis region, and attended the Telshe Yeshiva before emigrating in 1903 to the United States, where he was known as “Benjamin” Shapiro.

  • Lithuanian Regional Fdi During the Litas Period, 1997-2013
    Journal of International Business Research Volume 17, Issue 1, 2018 LITHUANIAN REGIONAL FDI DURING THE LITAS PERIOD, 1997-2013 Gregory J Brock, Georgia Southern University ABSTRACT FDI in to the ten counties of Lithuania 1997-2013 is substantial and widely dispersed. Applying a standard model of FDI impact on regional economic growth reveals dispersion of FDI as well as the amount has contributed to stronger regional growth. Results are not sensitive to the uniqueness of greater Vilnius though the county with the national capital continues to attract the most FDI and has suffered least from the demographic crisis. Greater attention to human capital development outside of greater Vilnius is recommended to continue to attract FDI to rural areas of the country with a focus on new goods exports to enhance labour productivity. Keywords: Lithuania, Local FDI, Regional Analysis. JEL: F3, P2, P25 INTRODUCTION The inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in to a small transition economy experiencing high emigration is understudied with Lithuania having the most challenging demographic crisis of any country in Europe (IMF, 2015). Once FDI arrives in a transition country it is often concentrated in a few urban areas leading to large inequalities across and within regions. Lithuania is no exception with the three counties with the three major cities having much better labour markets than other counties especially rural areas (OECD, 2018). While regional FDI is examined in the literature, how much FDI flows to urban centres versus rural areas is often ignored. Here we examine rural and urban FDI inside Lithuanian’s counties as the economy recovers from the 1998 financial crisis and through the Great Recession some 10 years later using a standard approach to FDI inflows applied to other countries but never Lithuania.

  • Dalia Leinarte, the Lithuanian Family in Its European Context, 1800–1914
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 22 2018 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 187–195 Dalia Leinarte, The Lithuanian Family in its European Context, 1800–1914. Marriage, Divorce and Flexible Communities, Cham (Switzerland): Palgrave Macmillan. 2017. 193 [XXI] p. ISBN 978-3-319-51081-1 In her monograph The Lithuanian Family in its European Context, 1800– 1914. Marriage, Divorce and Flexible Communities, 1 Dalia Leinartė has set herself an ambitious task: to present the Lithuanian family 2 in a Euro- pean context. The author’s own comment in the Preface, ‘the fundamental question is, how did families in the past respond to social upheavals and economic reforms as well as policies of state and religious institutions’ (p. vii) is especially important for understanding the behaviour of families in Eastern Europe, where significant transitions were under way during the period discussed: serfdom was abolished, and national movements emerged in many regions. Taking into consideration the fact that similar research into the Lithuanian family has not been conducted in either Lithuanian or European historiography, this task is clearly not an easy one. Leinartė had to reconstruct the marriage strategies of the Lithuanian peasantry and the typical household structure in the region, analyse the national intelligentsia’s critique of the traditional family at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the modern national family marriage strategies they recommended, and discuss the behaviour of family members when confronted with ‘rough patches’ in family life, or when they wanted to end a failed marriage. Selecting the necessary research, finding analogies and revealing the reasons for these patterns from the rich field of research on the European family are no less important tasks for the author.
